Writing a scenario/running a game is always fraught with the danger that you have an idea/plan in your own head of would will/should happen - and then it doesn't! As they say, no plan survives the first contact with the enemy. I remember going to Killiecrankie as a young boy - it was some kind of anniversary but I cant imagine it was as early as 1969 )I would have been 6 or 7) but it was definitely not 1989 - I was in NZ and married by then! The Sealed Knot spent a three day weekend "redoing" the battles of the campaign - Killiecrankie and Dunkeld I think. Also famous for the "Soldiers Leap" the spot where a Redcoat soldier leapt 18ft across the raging River Garry, fleeing the Jacobites.rrosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07316317334203888350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6486757399063403760.post-88489102014373535482019-06-19T22:07:20.436+01:002019-06-19T22:07:20.436+01:00Cheers Chris, glad you approve!Cheers Chris, glad you approve!Ray Rousellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07352596392520905197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6486757399063403760.post-10353448074021478892019-06-19T22:06:29.440+01:002019-06-19T22:06:29.440+01:00Glad you like the post Joe.Glad you like the post Joe.Ray Rousellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07352596392520905197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6486757399063403760.post-91698749426771424872019-06-16T20:40:45.852+01:002019-06-16T20:40:45.852+01:00Excellent production from the rejects and other fi...Excellent production from the rejects and other fine looking games!<br /><br />ChristopherChristopher(aka Axebreaker)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13205928451375232865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6486757399063403760.post-89329729505753665382019-06-16T14:59:24.544+01:002019-06-16T14:59:24.544+01:00Pretty good re[resenation of the battlefield imho,...Pretty good re[resenation of the battlefield imho, having walked the terrain (as a Williamiteofficer) and the solitary building in the centre was a "Little Chef" when I was there !
